VB.Net - My coworkers blowing smoke?

I was on the verge of ordering Visual Studio.net when my co-workers told me that with this product, the developer does his
develping work as a client via a web-browser to the product which
is loaded on a server with web services running. Is this true?

Thanks

you could do it that way but you dont have to.

I see.. Wouldn't want to do that!

Thanks
Tom

yeah that would be no fun, though one cool thing
say you deploy a web application if you set the web server up to allow remote debugging you can debug the app if it is having problems and change the code their without having to worry about doing on your pc then redeploying it.

Now that sounds cool!.

yeah
its pretty cool, just go out to msdn and search on remote debugging and it should come up

i dont remember the name of the article that talked about it
